Personal:

I was a single mom.  Two times over.  We all survived, despite the fact that I make atrocious decisions.  Then, I met a man I didn't deserve.  And he loves me so much.  And I love him. We lived in sin and bought a house for two years then hired a judge and officially got married(to our great delight and also the delight of our mothers), then a month later he was diagnosed with cancer.  Well we survived all that and he's 100% fine now.  But, we're really out of shape and really busy with kids and jobs and running just isn't my priority and there's so many other layers to all of it, but I'm running anyway.  This is my failure blog now.  Just to log that one run a week if I snag it.  
Somehow that matters and I want that run recorded.

7:58 AP.  Treadmill.  Vanessa wanted to tell knock-knock jokes during some fast parts.  I am happy to report I can gasp "who's there?" at 6:00 pace.  35 minute warm up at 8:34 pace.  10x1 minute on, 1 minute off.  All minutes off at 8:34 pace.  Minutes on at 6:18/6:15/6:15/6:11/6:11/6:07/6:07/6:03/6:00/last 90 seconds at 5:49 pace.  Cool down to 8 miles total.  This was actually fun and went pretty fast.  Now I want to go run a 5k.  Shin stops bugging after I'm warmed up.

Nice! The fact that you can get out anything while busting your butt is a good sign!

Just be careful with those shins !

Good luck on that 5k.

Knock Knock?

Impatient Cow.

MOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

That is funny my 8 year old has been into knock knock jokes the last few days too. She told me that one. : D. Great workout btw. I love that work out too. I haven't done it in over a month but it really gets those fast twitch muscles thinking. Way to go!!

I couldn't get my shins to warm up this morning. I probably didn't try very hard though. I gave up after two miles.
